“Twenty-Six Years (If You Can)”
Modern Country · FreeCustomSong Original
I look in the mirror and I see the miles
Behind the quiet strength and the easy smiles
It’s been twenty-six years since I put the bottle down
Found a better way to walk through this town
I took the hard road, but I made it through
Now I try to do the good that I was meant to do
Chorus'Cause a big heart ain't meant to be kept in the dark
It's meant to be a fire from a tiny spark
If you've got love to give, reach out a hand
Be the one who cares, be the one who understands
I've learned a lot of lessons making me the man I am
So always help someone if you can
Verse 2Every morning I wake up with a clear mind
Leaving all the shadows of the past behind
Sometimes a neighbor just needs a little grace
A steady shoulder or a friendly face
I know what it’s like to be down on your knees
So I give the kind of love that puts a soul at ease
BridgeTwenty-six years of taking it day by day
Showing up for others when they lose their way
The greatest gift of getting sober and clean
Is having the eyes to see what goes unseen
Final Chorus'Cause a big heart ain't meant to be kept in the dark
It's meant to be a fire from a tiny spark
If you've got love to give, reach out a hand
Be the one who cares, be the one who understands
I'm proud to be Danny, I'm proud of the man I am
So always help someone if you can
Yeah, always help someone if you can
